[quote name="Bradley Svedka."]ICJ, pleast sticky this thread. I have taken Ice Cream Jonesy up on his offer of being the moderator of this website. I have been the mod for a few different websites and I think I bring a clean, understated style of management to forums that are in desperate need of it. This is one such forum. I will be requesting edits for the following: <b>** Low-content posting</b>. <b>** Poor spelling and punctuation</b> <b>** Obvious trolling (post better)</b>. I will be requesting bans for the following: <b>**** Continued trolling</b>. There is no need for this. We all know when it is being done, and I'll be requesting bans for those who do it anyway. Repeat offenders, etc. <b>**** Thread shitting</b>. This includes threads that descend into stupidity, whe the main thread is still going on. <b>**** Thread resurrection</b>, repeatedily. Nobody wants to read old threads. If a thread is more than a few weeks old, <i>do not bump it</i>. And I will be requesting permabans for: <b>*** Egregious rule breaking</b>. <b>*** Backtalk to the moderation team</b>. We work hard enough to keep the forum clean. This has proven to work on a NUMBER of other forums. It's pretty much a given. "Sass" the mods? Permaban. <b>*** Spamming</b>. There is no place for it. Dont suspect this will affect any of the regulars. 80% of Caltrops is good, but the other part is really terrible and would benefit from what I shall be requesting. I know I am new, but hopefully when you see how I decide to mod the site, you'll agree that I can just do it directly against posts. I won't edit snotty things inside a post. I saw in that one thread how people used to do that here and I agree ther eis no place for it. [/quote]
